For the last month, Funk Flex along with the IFWT staff have went through all the up and comers that were making waves in 2011, and we have decided on 20 to watch for 2012. Each night this week, we’re going to post 4 out of the 20 and we will wrap it up on Friday. Be clear, this list is in NO PARTICULAR order! Announced on Monday were Jon Connor, followed by Chase N Cashe, Chinx Drugz and Troy Ave . Yesterday was Skeme, then Audra The Rapper and Maffew Ragazino. First up was Lore’l and now we’re on to another Jersey representative, Neako. The Newark native is part of Wiz Khalifa’s Taylor Gang crew and the first artist signed to NY record label Gramercy Records. He’s definitely one to watch in 2012. Check out his exclusive track “Disco” over Nas’ “You Know My Style” below.
